7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 55): in which we talk about a lot (a lot) of writing

— 1 — Another week gone by; goodness, it flew!  Between job-hunting and a whirlwind trip to spend time with some of my extended family this week, I’m not really sure what happened to this week, but I am really looking forward to the next couple of days.  Hoping to finish Michele Cushatt’s Undone (which, you…

adventures in Lent: the one about time

adventures in Lent: the one about time

I knew that giving up my unhealthy sleeping patterns for Lent was going to be a challenge; I just hadn’t anticipated how much… One week in, I think I’m only at about a 75% success rate in terms of getting a good night’s sleep, and I’m nowhere near where I want to be by the end…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
